On my last stay I was fortunate that the home next to me had an open router. I assume it was a rental. No one was there that week but the WiFi was active. I knew where it was because the router ID was the same as the nameplate on the house.

The time before I used my Android phone hotspot. It was painfully slow, but it worked.

If you just want access and don't mind leaving home, it's generally available these day, Starbucks, McDonalds, Barnes and Noble, Library, etc. I was told Seabreeze has WiFi, maybe all Regional Rec Centers have it. Finally, if you just drive down the street I'm sure you'll find open WiFi all over. That's probably not technically legal (although they are public airwaves) but a quick email or download shouldn't be a problem.
